Child labour, workers' comp and safety

An interesting day in the news. The trial of accused Alberta WCB hostage taker Patrick Clayton started this morning and Clayton plead guilty to multiple counts.

The Edmonton Journal published a short piece on child labour this morning. This piece has been appearing in a number of newspapers.

And I was on Edmonton AM this morning chatting about workplace injury and the failure of Alberta's occupational health and safety system. You can listen to the clip here. Next week I'm off to Toronto to discuss the consequences of workplace injury.

    Thanks Warren.

    For the curious, the Journal has posted two videos of the WCB hostage taking:
